A federal judge rejected a former Clinton campaign lawyer's request to dismiss John Durham's case against him
A federal judge rejected Michael Sussmann's request to dismiss John Durham's case against him.
Durham's office charged Sussmann, a former Clinton campaign lawyer, with one count of lying to the FBI.
US District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that Sussmann "offers no legal authority" showing he did not make a material false statement.
A federal judge on Wednesday rejected the former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann's request to dismiss the special counsel John Durham's criminal case against him.
Sussmann was charged last year with lying to the FBI during a conversation with then FBI general counsel James Baker in 2016. Durham's indictment said that Sussmann "lied about the capacity in which he was providing" allegations to the FBI about what he claimed was a "secret communications channel" between the Trump Organization and Russia's Alfa Bank.
The indictment said Sussmann lied to the FBI when he told Baker he wasn't working on behalf of any client. In fact, the indictment said, Sussmann was acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign, the tech executive Rodney Joffe, and the internet company Neustar.
In their motion to dismiss the case against Sussmann, his lawyers argued that the lie he's accused of telling was not material to the FBI's 2016 Russia investigation. In other words, they said that Sussmann's statement that he was not acting on behalf of a specific client did not influence the "discrete decision" the FBI faced at the time: whether to launch an investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.
